I am excited to join the fight against OCD. Putting in the work — attending therapy, challenging yourself, resisting compulsions, and practicing ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) — during and in between sessions can be rewarding and life-changing. Treatment is tailored to your specific needs. Together, we'll develop a manageable plan of action. You will be an active participant in your therapy, and I'll help you challenge yourself. Fighting back against OCD together could help you reclaim your life. I also treat anxiety, depression, hoarding, and body-focused repetitive behaviors.

Samka has been understanding and encouraging in every session. I think she cares for my well-being, and she continues to help me through my exposures.
